This announcement follows a series of public statements regarding their relationship. In May 2026, reports emerged suggesting that Wayne had quietly gotten engaged to a woman in her 20s from Indiana, later identified as Madi Cannon.

He explained, "I had a beautiful thing going with an amazing person, but… I don't want to be such a burden on such an amazing person. So, we decided to part." (tmz.com)
The couple's reconciliation and subsequent engagement have garnered significant public interest, especially given the previous denials and the 21-year age difference between the 44-year-old rapper and Cannon. As of now, neither Wayne nor Cannon has provided additional details about their engagement or wedding plans.
This development has sparked widespread discussion among fans and media outlets, highlighting the complexities and public scrutiny often associated with high-profile relationships.
